Why an Indie Artist Needs Two Additional Companies, Not a Dream and a PrayerLet’s start by being honest, because this is where most music advice goes soft. If you are an independent artist releasing music without a record company or a publishing company, you are not actually “free.” You are exposed. You may feel creative freedom because no one is telling you what to write or record, but from a business point of view, your music is drifting with no structure holding it in place. There is no clear

Making a Scene Presents - Focal Listen Professional Headphones - A Deep Dive ReviewWhy Tracking Headphones Matter More Than Most People ThinkTracking is where the music actually gets captured. This is the moment where a vocal performance is frozen in time, where a guitar part becomes permanent, and where mistakes either get fixed now or haunt you forever. Mixing can polish things later, but tracking is where the foundation is poured. If you can’t hear clearly while tracking, everything that comes

Making a Scene Presents - The Hard Truth: You Already Run A Business, You Just Haven’t Admitted It YetIf you’re releasing music and touring locally, regionally, and nationally, you’re not “trying to make it.” You’re already operating a real business. Money comes in. Money goes out. Contracts get signed. Taxes show up whether you feel ready or not. The only question is whether you’re going to run your music business on purpose, or let it run you by accident.http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents -The Indie Artist’s Guide to Writing a Real Business PlanFor independent musicians, the music business can feel confusing, overwhelming, and honestly a little intimidating. You make music because you love it, not because you dreamed of spreadsheets and contracts. But here’s the truth nobody tells you early enough: if you want music to be your career instead of an expensive hobby, you need a business plan. Not a corporate one. Not a label-style fantasy deck. A real, usable

In 2007, he quit his job, gave up his home, and moved into his car so he could follow music full-time. For the next two years he couch-surfed, slept wherever he could, and stayed on the road almost constantly. That choice shaped everything that followed. The

Over the last few years, Unreal has quietly become one of the most powerful tools for film, television, and music visuals. Version 5.7 continues that shift. It is not a toy, and it is not a filter.

IPFS and the Decentralized Music ArchiveHow Indie Artists Can Host Their Entire Catalog, Serve Every Kind of Fan, and Build a Real LegacyFor decades, independent artists were handed advice that sounded helpful but quietly worked against them. Upload your music to platforms. Share a link. Trust the system to take care of the rest. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. In practice, it put your entire career inside systems you never controlled. Dropbox links expire or get buried. SoundCloud accounts

If you’re an indie artist working from home, green screen might sound like something left over from old Hollywood movies. It can feel outdated, expensive, or disconnected from the way modern AI video works. That assumption couldn’t be more wrong. Green screen is actually one of the most important tools you can pair with AI today, especially if you want your music videos, branding visuals, and short-form content to look cinematic without burning money on locations, crews, travel, or

Recording Vocals at Home: From Living Room to Radio-ReadyRecording vocals at home used to feel like settling. You’d stand in a bedroom or living room, sing into a mic, and then hope the computer could “fix it” later. That old approach is done. These days, an indie singer with a normal room, a few smart choices, and good habits can record vocals that sit right next to commercial releases without sounding out of place. Not because home gear is some kind of magic cheat code, but because the real
